Devon Carpenter will receive a $2,000 scholarship, the company announced. He's one of just 25 students selected from a pool of more than 900 applicants. In addition, North Penn's Catherine Cavanaugh was also selected as a recipient of the $2,000 award. "We are proud to continue the tradition to further students' educational goals in our community as well as celebrate a major milestone this year: providing over half a million dollars to our local students since the program's inception in 2009," Perry Shah, local Dunkin' franchisee and Philadelphia regional advertising committee chairman, said in a statement. Winners were chosen based on "academic records, demonstrated leadership skills, and overall commitment to their schools and local communities." All told, $50,000 was awarded to students around the Delaware Valley.
